Research Design/Develop Develop/Produce Product prepared for manufacture Idea developed Prototype/ demo developed Product & associated processes mature Idea concrete; application determined Demonstrator performs Product Development KTP

  3. KTP - main points • Partnership between business and academia - must be driven by business need • Annual project budget of ~£65k • Typically 67% grant funding for SME and 50% for large company • Project length typically 2 years • 90% success rate for proposals • Pre-proposal checks and process supported by network of 24 Regional KTP Advisers

  4. KTP benefits • For every £1m of government money invested: • 32 new jobs were created • 269 company staff were trained • £0.84m was invested on average by companies in plant and machinery • £1.15m was invested on average by companies in R&D • businesses predicted a post-project increase in annual pre-tax profit of £3.46m.

  5. KTP thematic competitionAgrifood Supply Chain Information provided by: John Whittall Lead Technologist, Sustainable Agriculture & Food Nick Bassett Lead Technologist Biosciences

  6. Agri-food supply chain • Contributes £96 billion or 7% of UK GVA • Sector challenges include • Global food security • Resilience to environmental stresses • Rise in chronic, diet-related health conditions • Food safety, authenticity and traceability • Increased engagement with TSB over last 5 years • AgriTech strategy, SAF IP & Biosciences programmes • ~50 KTPs formally classified as Agriculture or Food since 2007

  7. Competition features • Competition budget £2.3m including co-funding • Competition opens 19 June • Competition close Feb 2015 • Typical 2 yr duration for KTPs in this call - longer possible if justified • Previous involvement in KTPs (outside this call) not taken into account • Regional engagement events planned Sept / Oct 14 • Networking events and other activities planned to support “cohort” of KTP Associates funded through this call

  8. Co-funders • Across full scope of competition • On a project basis

  9. High level scope Spanning the Agri-food supply chain • Innovation for consumer health, wellbeing and choice • Improving productivity, resource efficiency and resilience in the supply chain • Assuring safety and security across the supply chain

  10. Illustrative project areas • Application of genetic and breeding approaches to crops and livestock • Food safety, authenticity and traceability • Improved methods to control yield/productivity loss or product quality deterioration • Improved resource efficiency and/or waste minimisation • Improving nutritional quality through better products or ingredients • Measurement, control and precision application technologies • Modern manufacturing methods • Packaging and logistics supply chain • Technologies, approaches or services which support the sustained modification of consumer or employee behaviours • Use of data • Use of systems-based approaches
